I came across this on the Internet:

LONGEST POEM ON EARTH WRITTEN BY NIKHIL PAREKH Longest poem written on earth, ONLY AS LIFE composed by prolific Indian Poet Nikhil Parekh, measures a Herculean, 1470 lines, 1100 stanzas, 7900 words, 38,900 characters (without spaces). It is also exclusively the first of its kind in pure poetry fraternity and English language; without containing the most infinitesimal of elements of dramatic theater/stage plays/ dramas/ conventional theater/ stage sequels/opera performances.. etc. This makes it the longest on earth in the 21st Century and English Language, weaving through countless lines of immortal love and life; wholesomely and irrefutably distinguishing it from conventional theater/dramatic philosophies/poetic plays/poetic memoirs/personal biographies/ plays/ancient scripts.

Just as the West’s exploration of the external world is important to mankind, so too is the exploration by Indian philosophers of man’s inner being. We Indian-Americans have been especially fortunate to have benefited from both. The religious and cultural diversity that surrounds us has also added an important dimension to this experience.
By engaging in an intellectual dialogue, we can draw upon this rich heritage to develop a broader vision of India, the US, and the whole world.
